Couple goes ‘berserk’ and punches a mom and her 15-year-old – over ‘cold chicken’

After a couple ordered two meals from the Qwik Chick restaurant in Baxley, Georgia, they reportedly complained that their chicken was cold and there weren’t enough fries.

Those complaints quickly turned to punches, surveillance video shows. The footage shows a woman attacking the restaurant owner, Jeanette Norris.

The footage also shows Norris’s 15-year old daughter trying to intervene, but was sucker punched in the face by a man accompanying the woman who attacked Norris.

“She went berserk,” Norris told WTOC-TV. “They both lost it, him and her both started cussing and beating on the window.”

Norris told the station that she refunded the meal, but it wasn’t enough.

“One of my employees yelled, ‘He’s got her. He’s got her.’ And that’s when I realized he had hit her. Who does that? Who punches a child like she’s a grown man standing there? ” Norris said, according to FOX 6.

Chief James Godfrey of the Baxley Police Department was shocked by the footage and called it “brutality.”

“I’ve been here, what, 41 years - 30 of them as chief. I have never seen anything like this. I’ve never heard of anything like this,” Godfrey said.

Since the incident June 23, Eric and Latasha Smith have been identified as the attackers. They face several felony warrants including aggravated battery and cruelty to children, according to WTOC-TV. Police are still searching for them.
